There are to many fond memories of Aunt Pat for me to mention. She was always a huge part of my life. We all spent every holiday together & Aunt Pat had the best laugh. My childhood memories all include Aunt Pat, my Uncle & cousins. I am so thankful to have loving memories, pictures & home movies to watch of all our family members who are now in heaven. I miss you my Auntie Pat, say hi to everyone whose with you over the rainbow.
To the Barrett Family,
What a great loss for all of you….and us also. I always enjoyed Pat and Maynard, they were such a neat couple . Maynard was such a tease and Pat would just laugh and shake her head. She was a love and I know how missed she will be by all of you. Hold her precious memories close and smile when you think of her.
